Eagles

Around the beginning of the year, Parker opened up a new street to take us out to the Highway, and it has been awesome.  No stoplights, less traffic, it is a dream come true.  Shortly after it opened, we started to notice these big birds sitting in a Cottonwood tree off the side of the road.  After seeing them several times, we realized that they were bald eagles, and they have a nest in one of the Cottonwoods.

After we realized what they were, we have been trying to get a picture.  After several attempts of having the camera but the birds weren't there, not having the camera and the birds were there, or having the camera the birds being there but not having time to stop we finally got a picture of one of them!  Yea! 

The picture is a bit blurry, but this is the best of the bunch, because of the telephoto lens we had on the camera, and because of the wind.
